The Meetup alternative for Christians
The place Christians come to find Christian things
Around one in four people are Christian, but even with all of Meetup's variety you still can't see which church groups near you are open to join. Tersia is built only for Christians: find the communities around you, join them, and make Christian friends that last beyond a single event.
A general events app vs a place built for you
On Meetup
- Plenty of one-off events, but no way to see which church groups near you you can actually join
- Christian groups buried among thousands of unrelated, secular listings
- You meet people at an event, then have no community to stay connected through
- No prayer, no faith at the centre, it is a general events tool
- Organisers pay a subscription to run their group
On Tersia
- See the Christian communities near you and ask to join in a tap
- Only Christian communities and gatherings, nothing to wade through
- Join a community and keep making Christian friends long after the first event
- Prayer and faith at the centre, made for the church, not bolted on
- Free for organisers, with payment handled in the app

Meetup alternative: common questions
How is Tersia different from Meetup?
Meetup is a general events tool. Even with all its variety, you still can't see which church groups near you are open to join. Tersia is built only for Christians: you discover the actual communities around you, join them, and build friendships that last beyond a single event, not just sift through one-off listings.
Is Tersia free for organisers?
Yes. Running a community and posting events is free for organisers, unlike Meetup's paid subscription. If you charge for an event, payment is handled in the app.
Can people find and join my Christian community on Tersia?
Yes. Your community shows up in discovery and on the map to the right people nearby, and they can ask to join in a tap, so they keep coming back, not just attend one event and disappear.
Does Tersia have prayer and faith features?
Yes. Prayer, communities and discovery are made for the church and sit at the centre of the app, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Is Tersia only for young adults?
No. Tersia is open to all ages. Whatever your age, you are welcome to find your people, join a community and gather.
